and view through the door and casing.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a portion of an ordinary door casing and B a portion of an ordinary door.

2 represents a stop against which the door shuts. Adapted to be secured to the casing alongside the door, as by a screw 3, is my improved button C. The button C has a flat portion 4 to rest upon the casing, and an upwardly and inwardly bent spring portion 5. The spring portion 5 projects beyond the frame and downwardly to form an abutment end 6 to bear against the door, as shown in the drawings. A securing screw extends through the spring portion 5 and the spring portion may slide upon the screw and adapt itself to di'erent thicknesses of Witnesses:
